TLDR
New clinical assessment methods incorporating dual-task paradigms are helpful in revealing the effect of disease on the ability to allocate attention to postural tasks and appear to be sensitive measures in both predicting fall risk and in documenting recovery of stability.About:

Thinking While Walking: Experienced High-Heel Walkers Flexibly Adjust Their Gait
TL;DR: It is concluded that high-heel expertise is associated with more flexible adjustments of movement patterns, and a more demanding walking task results in expertise-related differences in the simultaneous execution of a cognitive task.

A protocol to examine vision and gait in Parkinson’s disease: impact of cognition and response to visual cues
TL;DR: Improved understanding of the influence of cognitive and visual functions on visual sampling during gait and gait in PD will assist in development of interventions to improve gait & falls risk and help establish robust mobile eye-tracking methods in older adults and people with PD.

TL;DR: As expected, behavioral performance costs in postural sway during dual-one back performance largely varied between individuals and so did lPFC recruitment during dual one-back performance and individuals who recruited the right mid-lPFC to a larger degree showed greater postural swayed as measured by larger performance Costs in total center of pressure displacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effort to reduce postural sway affects both cognitive and motor performances in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
TL;DR: In PD, attempting to reduce postural sway did not affect postural control under single task conditions, however ML CoP variability and velocity did increase as a dual task, and in older adults, increased displacement and velocity was observed during single, but not dual task conditions.

Context specificity of automatic influences of memory.
TL;DR: It is concluded that context reinstatement does affect automatic retrieval, and effects of context manipulations on indirect measures of memory for aware and unaware participants are examined.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.

Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.
TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.

Motor Control: Theory and Practical Applications
TL;DR: This text bridges the gap between research/theory and practice by focusing on the scientific and experimental basis of new motor control theories by specifically illustrating how recent findings and theories can be applied to clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Stops walking when talking" as a predictor of falls in elderly people.
TL;DR: This investigation investigated the usefulness of the sign “stops walking when talking” in predicting falls and found that some frail elderly patients stop walking when they start a conversation with a walking companion, presumably because walking demands attention and they stop when they are expected to do two things at once.

The Effects of Two Types of Cognitive Tasks on Postural Stability in Older Adults With and Without a History of Falls
TL;DR: Results suggest that when postural stability is impaired, even relatively simple cognitive tasks can further impact balance and suggest that the allocation of attention during the performance of concurrent tasks is complex.
